Work Description
I Should Worry I Should Care is the first in a series of five novels for young readers that won critical acclaim and awards for Miriam Chaikin. All five books are about Molly and her family and friends in a Brooklyn neighborhood around the time of World War II. Molly and her friends play out their young girl interests against the background of those troubled times. The ALA Booklist said, "There is lots of warmth here and plenty of color in Chaikin's evocation of an early l940s Brooklyn neighborhood".
Goodreads Member Sarah liked it & rated it 3 stars of 5/ April 12, 2008
I liked this book as a child because of its historical context (set during World War II) and because I enjoyed learning about the main character's Jewish heritage. I also loved books that took place in New York City, they seemed so glamorous to me. The characters are a little flat and the plot is predictable but the book's other elements made it a worthwhile read for me.
